MUSIC

Just like other African countries, popular music in Botswana is

called "jazz"; however, it has little resemblance to the 

African American genre of the same name. There is an initiative to

focus on revitalizing the Botswana music industry, instead of

relying on foreign releases. Popular music in Botswana still comes

from South Africa, the United States, Europe or elsewhere in

Africa. Gumba-gumba is a form of modernized Zulu and Tswana

music, mixed with traditional jazz. The word gumba derives from

township slang for "party".
